Pruning Two-year Apple Trees after Planting. With two-year Apple 
trees, especially of first grade, the shape of the tree usually has been fixed by 
the nurseryman, but it is necessary in planting to remove all bruised roots with 
a smooth, slicing cut. No trimming of the tops should be done in the fall, but 
in early spring you can round up the branches as they ought to be to develop 
into a well-balanced head. Our plan is to prune off the side branches within 
from 4 to 6 inches of the trunk. Leave from three to five well-distributed 
branches, which will be the beginning of a well-balanced head.

LIST OF RECOMMENDED APPLES 
Leading Varieties. For the convenience of our customers who may not be 
entirely familiar with the best and most profitable varieties, we have given 
full description of such sorts.

O A| Winter. Standard in the section from _ New England to 
* West Virginia and west to Michigan. Fruit large, round; red 
all over; rich subacid; splendid shipper. Quick and large grower; yields big

all over; flesh white, juicy. Excellent keeper. 
Bonum. Fall. Red. 
Bullock (American Golden Russet). Fall. Russet. 
Chenango. Summer. Red. 
Winter. It is not the least bit of exagger- 
* ation to say that this Apple is one of the 
best, if not the best, of the new varieties. It has been tested 
in many parts of the country, and has been extremely satisfac¬ 
tory in hardiness, quality of fruit and as a shipper. The color 
is brilliant dark red, shading to yellow at the blossorn end. 
The flesh is crisp, fine grained, and quite juicy; flavor slightly 
acid but very pleasing. The tree is vigorous.
